Go up one level in this thread


  Computing breaksdown like this
    1) home user
    2) bussiness desktop
    3) Servers
    4) Scientific compute engines
    5) Software development platform

   Linux is doing well in 3 & 4.
   Some possibilities in 5.

    MS is pretty secure (for now) in 2.
    Linux could do well in 1 some day, but not now.
      Many vendors supply drivers for linux, so you just download them.
      So, 1 will be the next big drive, but MS will not be replaced for
      some time.
